Hi,

I have moved to Australia 3 times previously, and am about to go for the
fourth time in Jan (returned previously because hubby was homesick,
leaving him behind this time). I have 3 children at present, and on
previous moves they have been various ages, the youngest was 7 weeks at
one time, and the first time we went the two eldest was 4 and 3, quite a
handful on the plane! I dont find it a massive problem with kids, I
always take a little bag for each of them with various pocket money toys
and sweets. And Australia has creches in the shopping mall where you can
drop them off for an hour or two for some respite. Mine seemed to cope
with jetlag better than me!
